Bhīmasena–Hanūmān Saṃvāda: The Tail Test and the Divine Path
भयाद् विससूजुर्भीमं शकृन्मूत्रं च सुखुवु: । प्रविवेश तत: क्षिप्रं तानपास्य महाबल:
bhayād visasūjur bhīmaṃ śakṛn-mūtraṃ ca sukhuvuḥ | praviveśa tataḥ kṣipraṃ tān apāsya mahābalaḥ ||
Disse Vaiśampāyana: Tomados de medo, descarregaram involuntariamente fezes e urina. Então o poderoso avançou depressa, afastando-os para o lado—imagem de como o terror arranca toda aparência de compostura quando se enfrenta uma força esmagadora.

The verse underscores a psychological and ethical realism: fear can reduce even the proud to helplessness, revealing the fragility of outward dignity; true steadiness is tested not in comfort but under threat.
Those confronted by Bhīma are so terrified that they involuntarily void feces and urine; Bhīma, described as mahābala, swiftly enters and brushes past them.
